    Highway Planning
    ◼ Planning is considered as a prerequisite before
    attempting any development program, particularly
    when the funds are limited, and total requirements
    are much higher.

    ◼ Highway planning is also a basic need for highway


    development.

    Dr. Rizwan Memon 2


    The objects of highway Planning are:

    1. To plan a road net work for efficient and safe


    traffic operation, but at minimum cost.

    2. To arrive at the road system having maximum


    utility which could be constructed within the
    available resources during the plan period.

    3. To fix the priorities for development of each road


    link based on the utility as the main criteria for
    phasing the road development.

    Dr. Rizwan Memon 3


    4. To plan for future requirement and improvements
    of roads in view of anticipated developments

    5. To work out financing systems

    Highway planning phase includes:

    a) Assessment of road length requirement for an


    area.

    b) Preparation of Master Plan showing the phasing of


    plan in annual or five-year plans.

    Dr. Rizwan Memon 4

    Dr. Rizwan Memon 9


    ◼ The various details collected from the planning
    survey should be presented in the form of PLANS

    ◼ The Master Plan should be prepared, which is the


    final road development plan for the area under
    study.

    ◼ The next step is to compare the various alternates


    proposed of road systems in hand and to select
    the one which may be considered as best under
    plan period.
